well since I didn't go to classes today... ::sighs::... might as well add another chapter. . Oh-and- I don't own cats.


"Well... Bomba's coming over tonight so..." Tugger muttered causing the other three toms and even Teazer to look at him surprised.

"You mean you're settling down?" Mistoffolees asked.

"Nothing so serious!" He defended. "Just... enjoying some time with her- she's been kinda jealous since I started paying more attention to the younger Queen's- and I thought that maybe some one on one time would help- after all it's my job to keep Queen's happy so that the Junkyard is peaceful."

"Er- you're stretching it quite a bit, Tugger," Alonzo commented dryly his arm still around Teazer.

"Would you like staying with Demeter tonight, Teazer?" Munkustrap asked. "Her place is probably the safest..."

Only because she's so paranoid, Teazer thought but nodded slightly. "Dat'd be fine," she muttered.

"Alright," Munkustrap took her from Alonzo. "Alonzo could you make sure the kittens go to their box for the night- and see if Coricopat and Tantomile will stay up for a while- to check the junkyard for anyone who shouldn't be here?"

He nodded and left to follow his instructions. "Preparing him for something?" Mistoffolees asked but didn't wait around for a answer before vanishing to go to his human's place so he could rest without interruption.

Munkustrap sighed and shook his head. "Night, Tugger," he said quietly before adding. "And I won't tell the young ones that their hopes of being your mate are shattered- good luck with Bomba-"

"But I'm not-" Tugger started to protest then sighed as Munkustrap and Teazer were walking away from him already. He shook his head and went to his box which was positioned between the couch and a old dresser. He jumped up ontop of the box then onto the dresser to check himself out in it's vanity mirror. After all a tom like him had to look nice so he could entertain a Queen.

Demeter and Bomba were sitting outside a broken oven that they had made into their home when the two arrived. "Evening, Ladies... do you mind if Teazer here stays the night with you?" Munkustrap asked pretending to not know Bomba was going to be with Tugger.

"Oh, um... well I'm not going to be here tonight," Bomba said standing up. "...I've got other plans."

Teazer and Munkustrap didn't say anything but watched her leave. Demeter stood up herself. "Yeah, come on in, Teazer," she said quietly after looking at Munkustrap for a bit to see if she could catch any hint as to what was going on.

Once it was just her and Teazer Demeter brought the question up. "What's wrong?"

Teazer swallowed. "Oi- Oi don' really wanna talk bout it..." She muttered curling up amidst the blankets that made up the floor of the den. Demeter watched her for a minute then laid down beside the other Queen.

It was barely a whisper and not directed at Demeter but she heard it all the same. "Mungojerrie... and Rumpleteazer... had a w-wonderful way of... of... workin'... together..." Demeter silently pulled Teazer closer as the queen broke down in sobs.
